Summary

As the title indicates, this book focuses solely on Small Size notes. It seems to contain a slight bit more information about Small Size notes than Paper Money of the United States.The Standard Guide breaks down most note values by FRB (or prefix) and block letter/suffix, whereas Paper Money of the United States does not. The Standard Guide also provides low/high observed serial numbers where possible. Both Paper Money of the United States and the Standard Guide work equally fine for looking up note values.
